I live a charmed life. I was born into a loving family, and I have been born with ability to excel at almost everything I try. In conversations with my loved ones, I have expressed my feelings about this.
My brains are due to genetics. My musical talents are due to genetics. How can I take credit for anything I accomplish in this life thanks to all of these things? Everything I accomplish is because when I was born, the universe came together to create my life essence. I am the result of a set of physical facts: DNA.
When someone compliments my singing voice, shouldn't I just say...well, it's not really my doing - you can thank the universe for that?
All that said, now it feels that my responsibility is to do something big in this world. We have such a short time to make a difference. I have been given a gift.
What accomplishments in this world really mean something? What lasts? What makes a difference even after we're gone?
These are my new curiosities for the week. What do you think?
Stay curious,
`C
